GMGR brings together parents, teachers, librarians, writers and readers, who all love middle grade books. If you've ever wished for your very own magic wardrobe, wanted a ride through Wonka's chocolate factory, or dreamed of running like the wind with Maniac McGee, join the party!
Group Rules: Respect. Tolerance. Good vibes. Support. Poignant, sparkling, and witty conversations about middle grade books.
Authors: We have a couple of dedicated (and quite active!) threads for writers. Please limit remarks promoting your own books to the Author's Corner and Offers area. Like any other party, if you only talk about yourself, you'll be left standing alone at the punch bowl. (This is said with all due respect and affection of a fellow writer...)
